Exclusive: State Street Pictures has optioned the comic book Assassin & Son, created and written by the late Shad Gaspard and Marc Copani, for development as a film.
The comic illustrated by Eder Messiah centers on Donovan Braddock, a one-man killing unit who works with a team of covert assassins known as “The Horsemen.” When Braddock finds love, and makes a family of his own, he attempts to leave that life of violence behind. But he discovers that his old life still torments him when his wife is murdered in front of him and his young son. Now, with nothing to live for, this tragic event sends father and son on an epic journey of revenge and consequence. Scout Comics & Entertainment, which published the comic, will produce the feature adaptation alongside State Street.
Gaspard and Copani are former professional WWE wrestlers who teamed up to write Assassin & Son after retiring from the sport.

Since the murder of George Floyd, many celebrities have expressed their support for Black Lives Matter. But there’s a big difference between those who simply posted a black square in solidarity and those who’ve reached into their pockets to provide tangible assistance. This has led to a push from K-Pop band Bts to maximize donations to the movement.
Bts began with a $1 million donation to Black Lives matter, urging their #BTSArmy to match it with the #ARMYMatch1m hashtag. Now, they’ve been joined by Fast & Furious 9 star John Cena, who’s contributed $1 million, making for a total of $3 million.
Cena explicitly credited Bts and their fans for inspiring him, saying:
“Very happy to join #Btsarmy in efforts to match @BTS_twt tremendous donation #ARMYMatch1M”
In a further tweet, he expanded on his views on Black Lives Matter and the protests taking place across the nation and around the world,...

Owen Hart’s “Dark Side of the Ring” episode pinned down 626,000 total viewers, counting three days of DVR viewing, with 390,000 of that total coming from the key adults 18-49 demographic. Both are new ratings records for a Vice TV telecast, according to Nielsen.
Guess what the previous record-holder was? Yeah, the prior week’s “Dark Side of the Ring.”
By this point in the story, you’ve probably figured out that “Dark Side” is Vice’s most successful series in its relatively young history, and that Season 2 has outperformed Season 1.

While no Steiners/Road Warriors clash of maniacs frenzy, this was an encouraging sign for Aew’s tag division, as Pp did better than they have in the past, while the BFs line-danced their way to the win.

Just days after WWE star Shad Gaspard passed away, a memorial service was held in Venice Beach for the 39-year-old professional wrestler and actor. Friday's vigil — held by Shad's wife, Siliana Gaspard —drew family, friends and fans to the Los Angeles shore, where the grappler reportedly drowned last week. The beach was filled with flowers, candles and love for the father, who was also involved in the world of video games and graphic novels. Gaspard died after a swimming accident with his 10-year-old son, Aryeh. After the two were pulled to sea by a rip current, only his child survived. On Monday afternoon, Siliana shared that her husband had gone missing from the Marina Del Rey beach...

Former New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, a competitor on the upcoming Season 2 of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “Titan Games,” is “fully aware” of that somewhat underground Eric Arndt high school football promo — the one before the pro wrestler went by Enzo Amore in the WWE or by nZo on the independent scene today.
In the YouTube video, which is from Arndt’s pre-nxt days, the then-aspiring professional wrestler plays a clip from his high school football days, in which the future tag team partner of Big Cass tackles Cruz with a suplex-ish maneuver. Arndt then cuts a promo on Cruz right there in front of his own gridiron highlight reel from high school.
“I am fully aware of him, yes, absolutely,” Cruz, 33, like Arndt, told TheWrap ahead of the “Titan Games” season premiere on Memorial Day Monday. “The one time I got tackled in my life had...

He may not have been the best wrestler, but he seemed to be one of the good people in wrestling and that is a hell of a lot more important when it matters most.

Every WWE fan has had a similar complaint about the company over the years, even if only occasionally – it’s that, for the biggest professional wrestling promotion in the world, they often forget that they’re a professional wrestling promotion at all.
Wasting television time on putting over non-wrestling divas making a reality show… interminable opening segments featuring the main eventers talking to one another for half an hour… cringeworthy backstage comedy skits… celebrity guest star spots… it’s a miracle we actually get ten minutes of wrestling a week.
Let’s not even mention the lower card wrestlers who can’t find a spot on TV in amongst all this dross, and who suddenly find themselves taking a phone call informing them that ‘creative has nothing for them’ and that they’re being ‘future endeavoured’.
But even lower card is better than no card, or playing second...

The other day we reported that Fox and WB are apparently trying to get a leg up on Marvel by looking at lots of unknown - or not very well known - young actors to fill some of the roles in their slate of upcoming comic book movies. I've tried my best to find out exactly which roles, but had no luck (the Sunfire thumbnail is just teasing one possibility) because it turns out even they don't know! My source tells me that they are coming in for readings but only being given scripts from old or unmade projects to work from. Anyway, we may not be able to tell you which CBMs are next on the list, but we can reveal three more names that may just be starring in them. Along with Todd Lasance, Shalim Ortiz, Omar Sy, Shad Gaspard, Godfrey Gao and Joe Taslim, we have: Aldis Hodge...

Exactly two years ago, it was reported that "X-Men: The Last Stand" director Brett Ratner will be bringing the "Youngblood" comic book to the big screen. Since then, Ratner has mentioned Robert Pattinson as someone he would like to cast in the film, possibly as former FBI agent and expert marksman named Shaft. And now comes word that he's also considering former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard for another role. It all started with Gaspard sending a Twitter message to Ratner, mentioning that he would be perfect to play Chapel. Ratner replied: "I will get you an audition when 'Youngblood' is ready." Gaspard hit back: "Really! Wow, that's some cool stuff. Thank you. Just let me know when and where and I'll be there overly prepared." "Youngblood" chronicles the adventures of a government-funded team of superheroes who deal with supervillain-level danger and super-sized drama, all while constantly remaining in the public eye.

No stranger to playing a villain, "Avatar" actor Stephen Lang will soon make the jump from high-tech military to swords and sorcery as the warlord Khalar Singh in "Conan."
Lang confirmed rumors that he'd been offered the role during an interview with MTV News conducted Sunday evening on the Oscars red carpet. Lang, who played Colonel Miles Quaritch in "Avatar," will star opposite Jason Momoa, who recently reported that the film will be based on Robert E. Howard's original "Conan" novels as opposed to past film iterations.
"I've accepted the role of Khalar Singh," Lang told MTV News when asked about the rumor.
The casting was first reported on Latino Review last week, with the site claiming Lang had been offered the role and citing an anonymous source within Millenium Films.
"I have no idea how I'm going to do it," Lang laughed. "First I'm going to find out how I'm going to sound.

A few days ago, WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard has revealed that he has auditioned for the role of Ukafa in the upcoming "Conan the Barbarian" remake. He went on to mention some of the other people who have been considered. On that list are Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, Peter Mensah, Terry Crews, Kevin Grevioux, Bob Sapp, and Kimbo Slice. And while LatinoReview is reporting that Bob Sapp (Elektra, The Longest Yard) has received the gig, Gaspard's entry (from today) states that he has yet to find out who got the part. But Sapp definitely fits the recently released description of the character. Ukafa: He's in his 30s-40, very dark-skinned African or African American, massively framed at six-foot-five, gold-toothed, hardened by a lifetime of war, a leader of Kushite Tribemen from the savannahs of Kush. Ukafa is Khalar Singh's second in command, jealous that Singh's son, Fariq, will one day be warlord.
